'Mizuya's Professional Kuon' is a furniture workshop which specializes in Mizuya furniture. There are many explanations of the word 'Mizuya'; in old times, Mizuya was the room where a master of tea ceremony prepared before serving the guests. In the Edo period, Mizuya came to indicate the furniture near a kitchen. 'Mizuya Tansu (drawer)' is one of their most well known pieces of furniture. Kuon designs furniture to fit Japanese life and the care they put into the design can also be seen in the finish of the coating. There are two ways to finish the coating; 'Kuon finish' and 'Mizuya finish'. For both ways, the furniture is repeatedly coated and dried. This gives the furniture a well worn and aged look and the furniture has a dignified air and an unmistakable presence. Kumon uses two kinds of solid woods, Tamo and Nara, both are strong with beautiful lines. Based on the traditional craft style which is firmly rooted in Japanese life, Kuon designs and produces furniture matched with modern lifestyles.  Such craft workshops are very rare in Japan.  Kuon aims to produce 'furniture which will last 100 years.'  Kuon furniture has warmth that will stay with the family and last for generations.
